You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CDROM (see page 9)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 75)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
Before starting, connect the camera to a local network,
referring to “Connecting the Camera to a Local
Network” in the supplied Installation Manual.
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.

Operating the Camera

TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected as the communication port,
HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio
communication.
HTTP is the protocol used for reading a usual Web
page.
In an environment capable of reading Web page,
you can watch or listen to the video/audio by
selecting TCP port.
UDP (Unicast): When UDP (Unicast) is selected
as the communication port, RTP (Real-time
Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communication. As RTP is the protocol for running
video/audio data, video/audio can be played
smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If the
fire-wall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, the video/audio may not play
properly when UDP (Unicast) is selected. In this
case, select TCP.
UDP (Multicast): This is selectable when the
multicast streaming (page 34) is On. When UDP

– Do the computer and the camera have the same
network address?
If not, set the same network address on the computer
and the camera.

Assigning the IP Address to the Camera Using ARP Commands

Using the SNMP
This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects
and write some MIB-2 objects using software such as
SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the
coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on
or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap
which informs of an illegal access using SNMP.
Using CGI commands, you can set community name
and access limitation, reading/writing right, host to send
traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings,
you need authentication by the camera administrator.

1. Inquiry Commands
You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the
following CGI commands.

GET, POST

“http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inqjs=snmp
(JavaScript parameter format)
http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inq=snmp
(standard format)
With the above inquiry, you can obtain the following
setting information. The following explains the setting
information using the inqjs=snmp (JavaScript
parameter) format.
var sysDescr=“\“SONY Network Camera SNCRZ25\””
var sysObjectID=“1.3.6.1.4.1.122.8501”
var sysLocation=“\“\””
var sysContact=“\“\””
var sysName=“\“\””
var snmpEnableAuthenTraps=“1”
var community=“public,0.0.0.0,read,1”
var community=“private,192.168.0.101,write,2”
var trap=“public,192.168.0.101.1”

1 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysDescr.0”.
You cannot change this parameter.
2 describes the case of “mib-2.system.
sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.
3 describes the case of “mib-2.system.
sysLocation.0”. This field is used to describe
information on the location of this camera. Nothing
is set at the factory.

Using the SNMP

4 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysContact.0”.
This field is used to describe the information on
administrator of this camera. Nothing is set at the
factory.
5 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysName.0”.
This field is used to describe administration mode
of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.
6 describes the case of “mib-2.snmpEnable
AuthenTraps.0”. This example shows when “1”
(enable) is set. With this setting, a trap occurs when
there is an Authentication failure. When “2”
(disable) is set, no Authentication failure trap
occurs.
7 describes the community name and the reading/
writing attributes. This example shows the
identification number “ID=1”, the community
name public, and enables read from any IP address
(0.0.0.0).
8 describes the community name and the reading/
writing attributes, similarly to 7. This example
shows the identification number ID=2, the
community name “private”, and enables “read/
write” by the SNMP request packet from the host
“192.168.0.101”.
9 describes the host name to send a trap. This
example shows the identification number “ID=1”,
the community name “public”, and enables sending
of traps to the host having the IP address
“192.168.0.101”.

2. Setting Commands
The unit supports the following setting commands of
SNMP.

GET, POST

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi?
=&=...&...
First, perform the settings of the following parameters.
1)

sysLocation=
Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysLocation.0” in the
position. The maximum length of
is 255 characters.

sysContact=
Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysContact.0” in the
position. The maximum length of
is 255 characters.

sysName=
Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysName.0” in the
position. The maximum length of
is 255 characters.

enaAuthTraps=
Set the case value of “mib-2.snmp.snmp
EnableAuthenTraps.0” in the position.
Type “1” (enable) or “2” (disable) in the
position.

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi?
snmpd=restart

community=,,
,
Set the community name and the reading/writing
attributes. describes the setting identification
number (1 to 8), describes a character
representing the reading/writing attribute (“r”, “R”,
“w or “W”), describes the
community name to be set, and
describes the IP address of the host you allow
access (0.0.0.0 for any host).
Example: To allow reading/writing by any host in the
“private” community and having the ID number “2”.
community=2,w,private,0.0.0.0
6)

delcommunity=
This parameter is used to delete the previous
community setting. describes the community
setting identification number (1 to 8).

deltrap=
This parameter is used to delete the previous setting
of the host to send traps to. describes the trap
setting identification number (1 to 8).

Others

trap=,,

Set the host you want to send traps to.
describes the setting identification number (1 to 8),
describes the community
name to send traps to, and
describes the IP address of the host to send traps to.
Example: To specify the destination of traps as the
private community and the ID number “1”.
trap=1,public,192.168.0.101

When you have finished changing the SNMP setting
information using the above parameters 1) to 8), check
the changed settings using an inquiry commands. If the
changed settings are OK, restart the SNMP using the
following CGI command.
